Not when I use it. I have great results. If you have a film use a 800 diamond impregnated hair pad to remove this.
Always test first. I have taken this method and just used the diamonds pads and never needed to use powders at times.  A propane machine with the 1500 and the 3000 is great.

A lithium base dinsifier would be a better choice. And yes a densifier is a must to get a good shine.

Why would you want to use a sodium silicate dinsifier? If you do it needs to be kept wet for 20 to 30 min.

Has anyone tried a sodium silicate densifier on terrazzo prior to polishing, without any grinding?

How deep are the holes. If you take 50% portland and 50% marble chips and mix them together and float it high you can grind it down and blend the chips pretty well. There's a company out of Chicago called T&M and they will analyze the chips to get you what you need and if the matrix is different they'll send it to a dye lab for the proper color. Make sure to use a little "milk" (it's a bonding resin you can get in the concrete section of Home Depot). Do all this in the beginning and bingo, you have a beautiful floor.

ok boys here ya go.
Im bidding on 2000 sq. ft.of 100 year old Terrazzo floor in what used to be a bowling alley (you should see this place). Its been covered by carpet for the past 50 years and pulling up the rug revealed lots of divots, carpet adhesive and nails. (yes, nails and screws sticking out of the floor.)
I think Ive figured out the nail and adhesive removal but as for the filling of holes etc, at what stage should I plan on doing these repairs ??

Stephen,

What does the homeowner do now after using the shower? Is it a steam shower?

Does she squeegee the shower off, does she leave the door open?

What kind of cleaning products is she using now? I know StoneCare Central has the Mold & Mildew Stain Remover.

You can try that trick but chances are you are going to need a solvent. There is a chemical that a friend of mine in California sells which works on epoxy grout haze. His name is David Bonsera and his company is http://www.espsales.net/

Fred,
 
Last year you helped me with a problem of grout on porcelain tile.  Your combination of tide (surfactant)and abrasive (polishing powder) did the trick for removing the grout and haze.  I have been asked to solve the same type of problem again, only this time the grout is epoxy.  Can I still use the same combination, or does the epoxy require a different approach?  ANy help would be greatly appreciated.

Gentlemen:   any ideas for filling hairline cracks on slabs. Need a material that is thin and will hold color. Polyester resin? Anything thinner?
